the good of the service. Without asking
reasons cr anything else, Building Inspec
tor Wlthnell moved that Bpritlln be re
Instated. Comptroller Lobeck wanted to
now why he had bean dismissed and the
engineer replied that he did not attend
to duty; (hat he failed to report for thra
days ar.d wwn eskd where he had been
old that be had gone fishing; that he had
served eleven sidewalk notices In four days
for mhtch he had drawn $12 In salary, and
thnt his work showed hln to be Incom
reter.t. Mr. Wlthnell said that Bpratlin
had told him that he was sick the three
ys he was off duty, and for that reason
he wanted him reinstated. At the sugges
tion of Comptroller Lobeck the matter
went over for a week for Investigation.
Upon motion cf Comptroller Lobeck It
was decided to repave Capitol avenue frpm
near the center of Fourteenth street to
the east end of the new market house.
Oa this question the city engineer refused
to rote, saying that the matter Is one
which did not properly come before the
board, a that body had already decided
to make such repair In the street a should
be necessary and that no necessity exists
for new paving there, whlla muoh of the
old asphalt might be used.

During th afternoon F. N. Clark, repre
senting the Brandel bank, had a session

NEBRASKA'S VOLUNTEER FIREMEN
have proven themselves in time
of need an Invaluable adjunct to
the business interests of the state.
And they have also proved that
they can make an excellent show
ing In the manly sports by which a
fireman's mettle Is tested In prac
tice or competition. The state
tournament recently held at Nor
folk brought a very good repre
sentation from the departments of
the state, and the rnccs and other
events were, closely contested.
While no records were made, other
than state, this in .due to the fact
that only bona fide firemen took
part. The Bee stuff photographer
was there for two days with his
camera and got a fine collection of
pictures, showing the races nnd
coupling and ladder climbing con
texts nnd other features of the

will be found on a double page In

NEW TORK, July II. -R. O. Dun A Co.'
weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
Further evidence of the eolld baala UDon
which the legitimate trade la establlaned
has been furnished by the equanimity with
which commercial and financial institu
tions regard the recent speculative col
late. Much more harm has been done to
the country's manufactures and trade by
the Inflated urlrea of cotton than by the
dapreaeion In Blocks. Reports are almost
unanimous as to the heavy distribution of
merchandise, and this Is shown statis
tically by the Increase In railway earnings
thus far reported for July ot 12.6 per cent
over laet years and 33.1 per vent above
1KI1.
A a rule retail trade In summer fabric
ha continued heavy, and jobber report
fall business opening well, labor la well
employed throughout the country except
where voluntarily Idle. Agricultural new
le favorable, f oreign trade Is maintained,
both exporta and imports from till city
showing gain over tne corresponding week
last year.
Urgent Iron Order Wanting;.
Moderate lmorovement la noted In the
tone of the Iron and steel Industry. There
I a striking absence of urgent ordera,
however, ekpecially in lines outside rail
way equipment. There ie lees anxiety re
garding the aunger of overproauction, al
though dosens oi new blast furnaces are
In cuurae of construction, and un active
capacity of 20,wu,iwu tons annually is now
aiwurea.
Cables report spirited bidding by Euro-
fiean rail mill for large contract in Amer
cu that horn producer cannot coneider,
owing to their oversold condition. Coke
Is moving freely, but the Alabama coal
strike still disturbs furnaoemen. Another
decline has taken copper to ubout 13c.
Textile Industries are still waiting for
readjustment or evidence of permanence
In the present position of prices for raw
material. In lotion goods orders are placed
only on condition or prompt delivery, yet
It I significant that siocks do not ac
cumulate at the mills, which are ateadily
Increasing their percentage of Idle machin
ery. Consequently, prices are tuily aus
talned, rendering a guod profit to the man
ufacturers, who noid raw material pur
chased at normal prices.
Aside from a tew of the highest grades,
new lines of light-weight woolens for next
spring are fully openeu. Prices are about
the aume as a year ago. Buyers are nu
merous In the leading martlets, taking
woolen gooda freely, and showing a pref
erence for the fancy grades.
Footwear factories are crowded with
work, orders coming In brlakly for fall
goods,, and western Jobber have placed
additional contracts for next spring. Hides
again average much lower, and this con
tinued weakneas encourages shoe manu

BRADSTREET IS OPTIMISTIC
Declare Conditions Seasonably Fa
vorable with Cessamvtloa
Growing.
NEW TORK, July Jl. Bradstrt'a to
morrow will say:
Weather, crop and trade conditions are
seasonably favorable, though Irregularity
and weakness in some siapie prices reflect
readjustments of consumption to enlarged
production.
Copious rains in the corn belt and In the
western cotton region have removed some
of the uneasiness existing as to the out
turn of these two great crops, and despite
thla backwardness the outlook for general
trade haa been measurably helped.
Iron and steel buyers are still backward.
Prices ot the cruder forms tend lower, pig
iron and billeta both declining this week,
though the -formation ot-a pool.to maintain
price In this latter Is- noted. ' , ,
The Induatrial situation has Improved,
the railroads are having all they can
handle, with talk of congestion again being
heard, and the country's returns of cereal
and food products promise better than a
year ago Innofar as quality la concerned.
A favorable feature this week Is the re
ported Improvement In foreign demand for
breadstuffs, considerable quuntltle of new
wheat and old corn being taken. Accom
panying this has been an Improvement In
the outside Interest In the cereal markets.
World's stocks show little or no change for
the week.
The first six months of 100S witnessed a
record breaking production ot pig Iron and
the same Is true of the fiscal year ended
June 80. lit addition 966,000 tons of pig Iron
were Imported and the Imports of othpr
Iron nnd steel, partly manufactured, make
our Imports of foreign Iron equivalent to
over 1,(576,000 tons. This, added to the pro
duction of IS. 270,000 tons, indicates a total
consumption in the nant fiscal vear of
20.396.000 tons, a total of 3,000.000 ton larger
than during the previous year.
The situation In the dry goods trade is
no clearer. Reimports of American cotton
from Europe are reported as heavy, and
large numbers of spindles are Idle. The
same la true In the English Industry, where
short time rules. Despite the almost cer
tainty that the crop has made favorable
progress during the last week, prices of
new crop cotton ar nigner man two weeks
ago. A fair summer business la doing In
